The line of route was kept by nearly 10000
troops, representing all branches of the serv-
ice; IN addition 600 boys from naval training
ships were drawn up at the base of the Nelson
monument. Besides the military many thou
sands of police. both mounted and on foot,
were on duty under the command of Sir Charles
Warren. The military force was under COM
mand of General Gipps and Colonel Stirling, of
the Coldstream Guards.
The first of the royal procession was COM
posed of the Indian Princes and q few minor
German Princes. Principally at II rs a.. m. the
Queen in an open carriage emerged from the
palace gates. At the sight of her thousands of
voices were lifted up in cheers, the applause
being accompanied by the music of the
many military bands stationed in front of the
palace. The Queen did not wear her state
robes, but was dressed in black. Her
carriage was drawn by eight ponies. The
Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh the
Duke of Connaught, her sons; the Crown
Prince Imperial of Germany the Marquis of
Lorne, Prince Christian, Of Schleswig- Holstein,
and Prince Henry of Battenberg, her sons-in-
law, and Princes Albert Victor and George of
wares, Hrlnce Alfred OF Edinburgh, and
Prince William of Prussia her grand
sons, all rode in full uniform beside the
Queens coach body guard. When the peo-
pie at the palace gates had shouted themselves
hoarse cheering for the Queen, they continued
to cry out long life to the Prince and Princess
OF Wales" The Queen as she left the palace,
seemed to be in excellent spirits and she
smiled and bowed graciousy to the people on
every side.
The Queens carriage was large one, of
chocolate color, wheels red, and the royal
arms in gold emblazoned upon the panels.
Red morocco harness was used for the horses
which were otherwise decorated with royal
blue ribbons. All the servants wore state
hveries of scarlet and gold. The other car
riages containing members of the royal family
were Of gorgeous character, horsed with four
BAYS each, and all open.
The procession slowly made its way until the
Wellington arch was reached, and then the first
Emerging from the Wellington arch, the first to
greet the Queen were the convalescent patients
and others of the ST. Georges Hospital, which
was packed from basement to roof, seats hav-
ing been erected for many thousands over the
roof of the hospital. Itwas not until Devonshre
House was reached that the Queen began to re-
alize the grand preparations that had been
made to greet her. Here the Marquis of Hart
ington had had spacious gallery erected,
from which many hundreds of gayly dressed
ladies waved their handkerchiefs and
! cheered the Queen. Facing Devonshre
House, at the Bath Hotel another gigantic
booth had been erected, and from this point to

Parkes, OF Dartmouth College. Conspic-
uously prominent among the distinguished
throng which filed the abbey was Mr.. Glad
stone, who appeared in full court dress, ae-
companied by Mrs. Gladstone while James G.
Blaine and James Russell Lowell attracted the
attention of all within whose view they were.
In the gallery Immediately overlooking the
dais. were seated Queen Kapiolani and Prin-
cess Liliokalani
The state procession into the abbey was
headed by the minor canons and the canons
residentiary. Then came the Bishop of Lon
don, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York,
and the Dean of Westminster. The heralds
and the members of the royal household,
followed, preceding the royal Princes and
relatives of Her Majesty, who walked
three abreast, the two lines nearest the
Queen being composed of the Prince of Wales
and the Dukes of Connaught and Edinburgh,
and Prince Christian Crown Prince Frederick
William and the Grand Duke Of HIsse. Fol
lowing the Queen were the master of the horse
and the mistress of the robes, the Princesses
coming next in pairs,
The royal family slowly took their seats on
the dais, the Queen occupying the coronation
chair, over the back of which dropped the regal
robes of state, which the Queen presently as.
sumed, with the assistance of the mistress of
the robes.
When the Queen reached the abbey and the
royal procession was forming in the marquee
evtsid6 the west door, the state trumpeters, in
gold and crimson uniforms, executed fanfares
from the organ-loft nearly in the center of the
editice. When the clergy at the head of the
royal procession moved into the church the Ma
tional anthem was rendered by the organ, and
the audience rose as a unit and lent it's 10000
voices to accompany the choir. The effect was
so grand, so profound, that many persons were
moved to tears.
1t was at this moment that the Queen ap-
peared within the doors. Then the singing of
the anthem ceased and the professional march
from Handels Occasional Oratorio' was
given by the organ during the progress Of the
Queen and the royal family to the dais. When
they were seated the Archbishop OF Canterbury
their places within the sacrarium, began the
service by asking Of Sod blessing upon the
Queen. The ''Te Deum Laudamus'' was then
sung by the choir to the music composed by tbs
Prince Consort the Queen having requested this.
The Lords Prayer was said; the responses
adapted to the occasion were intoned. Then
three special prayers were offered. Following
the prayers the ''Exaudiat tie. Dominus'' was
sung with organ and Grassland accompaRi-

Westminster Abbey every point of vantage had
been seized by contractors to fix seats. Shop
fronts and first floors were rented at from EGO
to ESQ each, and in some cases even
more. The fronts of the Burlington Arcade
the Royal Academy, the Egyptian Hail. ST.
James Parish Church where 1000 children
were seated and sang " God Save the Queen, ~
and the Museum of Geology were all packed
with human beings.
On reaching Re gent Circus where six main
streets converge. the sight was memorable
one. the streets being all splendidly decorated
with flowers, flags, evergreens, etc. Many of the
imposing CO numerical buildings along the
way were one mass of heads. Many of the
shops hereabouts had their fronts removed and
elegant boudo1rs formed in their places. Many
American ladies and gentlemen had secured
seats at commercial establishment in Water
loo place, and joined i'll the enthusiasm as
warmly as the English.
Passing around Pail Mall east, large gal
lery was erected over the colonnade of her
Majestys Theater, while 1900 chairs rented at
from two and three to five guineas each were
all filled at Waterloo House in Cockspur street.
Trafalgar Square was now reached, and every
where one looked nothing but heads was to
be seen. The crowd here was tremendous and
completely eclipsed any that has assembled at
the greatest political gatherings of recent
years.
Men clambered up the trees in such numbers
as TO badly injure many of them. All along The
Thames embankment where not occupied by
public gardens seats and galleries had been
erected. On turning into Bridge street. around
St. Stephens Club, Her Majesty obtained full
view OF the Abbey and the preparations which
had been made in Parliament SQUARE The
ground floor of the Abbey was concealed By
the lofty grand stand called st Manganese, -
the seats of which were sold for five guineas
each.
The scene at Westminster Abbey was most
brilliant. Every seat was filed, and every per-
sonage present was more or less distinguished
When the identities were enumeratedit seemed
as II every locality the world over had sent
one or more of its representative personages
to do honor to England's Queen on Britain's
greatest holiday. There never probably in
modern times assembled under one roof an
audience so brilliantly arrayed. Every man
pre- sent entitled to wear uniform or Cecora-
tons had both on, new or FURNISHED up. When
this audience was all seated, the scene pre-
sented was incompatible. When the Marquis
of Salisbury, the Queens Prime Minister en-
tered and proceeded to the place set apart for
him, he was cheered. When Mr. Gladstone
was observed quietly edging his way to his
seat he was also cheered
Among the Americans occupying seats in the
abbey during the ceremonies, were Mr.. Law
ton, United States Minister to Austria:
Senator Mcpherson. of New Jersey; Sen
ator Hale, Of Maine; Hon. Perry Belmont,
